Saw that stuff on amazon, do people actually buy that wax and how good is it? Seems like a major rip, especially for only 8 oz
Ive heard of it before, but never actually saw it for sale. Anyone familiar with it?

 

They have *much* more expensive wax than that, but you aren't going to see me buying it. The most I've ever paid is $50 (and that wasn't necessarily fun).

 

I hate to break it to you, but prepped or not.....that stuff is awesome!!!!! Believe me, I've yet to see a wax or synthetic that could render a paint surface quite like a Zymol...this particular zymol especially. Definitely worth it in my book, but that's my opinion. Zymol is the ONLY carnauba that I will use on car #1.

Edit: The only way you will know for sure is to try it. I could not tell you the range of dynamic optical properties that this wax has unless you could see how it works on your car.

 

Zymol is overpriced crap. Try any of the Pinnacle waxes and you'll get equal/better results for much cheaper.

 

Have you tried a Zymol? I did. I've compared it against a few waxes (in particular, a few of the waxes that were given better reviews against zymol in the Guru Report). IMO Zymol outperformed the likes of Pinnacle, P21S (of which I am an avid user...on my daily driver) as well as Meguiars, Mothers, and a few synthetics that I won't bother to mention on my paint surfaces, as well as on other live examples I've seen so far.

The price with some of those zymol models is an issue. FWIW, if you are talking about Zymol's abilities, then you have to physically compare the waxes and determine whether it (or any wax or synthetic) will perform. Zymol did, but not all of those brands I mentioned earlier performed nearly as well, despite their touted reps.

But don't take my word for it. Take the plunge....I dare you....if you are really serious about evaluating and finding a good lsp.

 

I'll save my $143.00. with what im currently using. I seriously doubt any higher percentage then 1% could detect a discernable difference.

 

That's what I said.........before trying an authentic Zymol. Like I said....try it if you dare.....

 

I want before and after pics.

 

Before I expose myself, let me just advise you that pics alone isn't the right way of evaluating a wax. You will need to measure your improvement against your old techniques and some competing waxes. Now let me see what I can dig up here from the old toy chest...

This is car#1's baby picture...a few months old. Notice the fuzziness on the sides that is typical with a lot of 4th gen's (orange peel..no pun intended)


This is another pic of one of my other lsp results before zymol (I believe it is mothers.) The pic isn't that good so you may not be able to tell what stage my paint was at in terms of development. The mother's was good and it did yield a shine, but it didn't prepare me for what I would see with another product a little later.


Now after a little experimenting with a couple of waxes, I ended up trying Zymol. These are the latest paint resolution pic(s)









Now realize why I fell for zymol. It wasn't because of its shine power (which is considerable IMO). Most lsp's can give you a decent amount of shine with the right preparation and layering. The real secret behind Zymol as I've seen it is its excellent range of reflection and color reproduction. I was able to see the difference as soon as I applied this wax. I could honestly say that I was unable to get a response from the other lsp's in terms of definition and range of reflection in the same depth and intensity of this Zymol.

But again, that's based on my paint and my experience. You should really start perhaps by sampling zymol's sample kit (which may be cheaper), and then pick up two to four leading lsps, and do a comparison to see which one exceeds your expectation. Good luck!

 

Nice car man, Can't say anything bad about it. My ride is som too so I like it a lot. But yeah, i think ill stick to meguiars or zaino because I dont have that kind of money for wax.

 

Thanks. Little admission....there were times I wish I'd stayed with my other wax before discovering this one as well. Word to the money wise....Don't Get Hooked On Zymol! Lol!

 

I like how the first pics are fuzzy and crappy quality with ****ty angles/lighting, and the Zymol ones are nice and sharp with awesome lighting.

So you're saying that Zymol will hide orange peel? Get real.

 

Show me where in any of my texts that I said Zymol would hide orange peel. We are real.

BTW...thanks for the photo compliments! I have more but I kept it to a minimum to keep the hijack factor in check.

 

Dude,

Don't go dig in on his pictures and preference. If you actualy evaluate each picture's setting, the before and after pics were exposed to roughly the same amount of sunlight and were taken in broad daylight. By looking, you can clearly tell the PAINT is noticably glossier. Plus, he didn't say that Zymol was capable of removing orange peel. Just because you think it costs too much, or are satisfied with your own wax of choice, doesn't give you any right to harp on lbls1's Zymol presentation.

p.s - Car looks great man!

 

lolololol
